@Mark CiosHomepath offers have some significant paperwork that is different than the standard State Purchase Agreement forms and unless your Realtor has done one or is willing to study what’s involved to do it properly, you might wish to find someone else who has experience or the gumption to learn.

I self manage the property and take care of all the paperwork and communication with the tenants for the property. 

Always plan for worst case scenario And ensure ensure ensure you have a way to refinance, get that relationship going and get all of your Tax and paperwork ready to go.

There's no way I could have navigated all the paperwork without having someone who has been in the game for 20+ years by my side. 

Do I need to get an agent to write an official offer and do the legal paperwork? 

Chris,Take the deposit and schedule a date to sign lease and other paperwork.

Chavez has always been available for questions and prompt paperwork.

@Lisa JonesBy simply having your pre-approval it means your initial paperwork and credit report in on hand and reviewed by your loan officer.

They did not pay their lease break fee (which like I said we had already reduced), and did not fill out any kind of move out paperwork.

just go up to the office with proof you own the property with the tenant information and they will have you fill out paperwork that they will submit to their case worker to update the file...wont take long...
